Virtual machine not mirroring Bootcamp

$

I am trying to evaluate Fusion 8  (I currently use Parallels). The problem is I have Fusion 8 installed, but when I open it up it doesn't mirror my Bootcamp drive i.e. programs I have installed on Bootcamp don't show up in the virtual machine. Surely I''m missing the point here? What settings have I missed?

Thanks for any help,

Host virtual adapter not showing under "active networks" in network sharing center and is considered as a public network

$

I'm using vmware workstation 12.1.0 build-3272444 in a Windows 8.1 Enteprise x64 laptop. As the title says, I connected a host virtual adapter to a host-only network in vmware. Everything is working fine, the virtual adapter gets its IP configuration properly and I can use it to route packets but it never shows under "active networks" in network and sharing center and internally it is considered as public network (this is not shown because the network is not seen under active networks but I know this because I'm trying to RDP from a VM to the host using port 3389 and it does not connect unless I change the RDP firewall rule to include the public profile).

 

Please help. Thanks.

Trouble when attaching new vSwtich and assigning VLAN to it.

$
0
0

I am using ESXI 6.0.

 

I have two physical NICs to my dedicated server.
So in this case i have two vSwitches.

 

As a default management switch i user vSwtich0 and this switch seems to have no VLAN assigned.

 

 

Then i login in my vSphere client and when i click on  "Add Networking.." and i choose "Virtual Machine" after that i choose 'vSwitch1" and on the next page where i am asked to assign VLAN ID i assign 1.
Note that on vSwitch0 I do not have any VLAN ID assigned.

 

There comes the trouble. When i set on the Virtual NIC of  Virtual Machine there is no internet connection. But if i remove vSwitch1 and reattach it again but this time with no VLAN ID assignment there is no problems. I can connect to the Internet without problems.

 

After all i am trying to create one Virtual Machine with two Vitrual NICs connected to it and make that Virtual Machine accessible from two different IP addresses. One IP from vSwitch0 and one IP vSwtich1. Is it possible? Can i do that?

 

I was reading that in order to do that i must have VLAN IDs in place, but i am not sure if it is correct in order to achieve that.

 

I found this guide of how can i add additional IP to Virtual Machine How to: Configure Additional IP Addresses on Hypervisors - Ubiquity Hosting Blog but it seems pretty hard to me. Is there any easier way?
I don't know if it is important but my server is connecting to the Internet via DHCP.

 

I hope you can help me.

 

Thanks in advance!

Any workstation 12 updates soon?

Will there be an Vmware workstation 12 update soon? I hope they give real support for 4k monitors (laptops) now. I have a Dell xps 15 9550 and my Windows guests scale perfect now. however the graphical performance is just awful. I've tried many settings, and the only solution is to downscale to lower resolutions.


Can't Unninstall VMWare Bridge Protocol from internet settings

$

Hey guys,

 

First of all I would like to say that I am not an expert on computers and VPN and these types of things so when you give me some advice or a possible solution, I would appreciate it if it was more of a "noob-friendly" explanation.

 

I installed VMWare workstation so I could use a MAC OSX simulator on Windows 10...I tried and it didn´t work so i decided to unninstall it.

 

However, ever since I unninstalled there were some residual files that I managed to delete on REGEDIT with the help of some forums but there are some that I CAN'T DELETE! (because it says its running on another program). On my internet properties i have a checked box saying VMWare Bridge Protocol and, when I try to unninstall it, it comes up with the following error:

 

  • It wasn't possible to install the component VMWare bridge protocol. Error 0x8007007E

 

This constitutes a big problem because I was using a DNS (So i could bypass the geolocation block from NETFLIX), and now I can't change back to "Automatically obtain DNS server access" (Which i need to change because NETFLIX is now blocking custom proxys and such) so I can use my normal VPN...which also prevents me from using various other programs that are VPN or DNS based. When I try to change it this error comes up:

 

  • An unexpected condition occurred. Not all of your requested changes in settings could be made. - I read that this happens because there is a bridge network configured, which i assume is VMWare because i've seen people with the same problem

 

I saw somewhere that the reason I get the the first error (Error 0x8007007E) is because it cannot find a certain driver for it to be able to unninstall and that I needed to find the CLSID files on regedit or something...but i HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO DO THAT.

 

I'll post the pictures so you can see the errors that I am getting...it´s in portuguese but i translated the errors here in the text

 

CAN SOMEONE HELP PLEASE?




Below there are three images that illustrate what happens when I try to change for automatic DNS. (An unexpected condition occurred. Not all of your requested changes in settings could be made)

And here is the error when I try to unninstall Vmware Bridge Protocol (It wasn't possible to install the component VMWare bridge protocol. Error 0x8007007E):

App: VMware Workstation Pro 12

Host: Windows 7 Pro

Guest: Windows Server 2012 Standard, Windows Server 2008 R2 x64

 

Observation:

I log into a guest with one user account(#1), then switch to another user account(#2) while leaving the first session logged in but disconnected.  If I copy something from either the host or another guest, neither copy nor paste is showing as enabled in the session #2.  In the meantime, however, I can paste the copied stuff in the session #1.

 

Question:

Is this an issue or limitation with VMware Workstation or it working with Windows?

SNMP agent problem after update to VCSA 6 update 2

Hi, yesterday I updated VCSA appliance from version 6u1 to 6u2 and after the update I have problems with SNMP agent.

The SNMP agent was working after restart about 30 minutes and then it stopped responding to SNMP queries.

I tried another reboot, and it was the same. So I reset SNMP agent using snmp.reset and configured again communities and enabled SNMP agent using snmp.enable, then again it worked about 30 minutes and stopped responding to SNMP queries.

I also checked if the snmpd service is running and it is. Sometimes it helps to restart snmpd service, but not every time.

 

Can someone please advise?

Update to Office 2013 Appstack breaks activation

$
0
0

It appears that performing an 'update' to the Office Appstacks may break activation. I'm guessing this is due to the KMS product key getting wiped out in the process. Since end users have no rights to modify the Office product key, let alone activate office, we are left with one option which is to create a new Appstack, install Office fresh, then apply the new Office patches. The same goes for updating Office Appstacks to include third party plugins.

 

Has anyone else seen this and know of a sensible solution outside of installing the Office apps within the parent image (and introducing many more pools to manage)?

Issue with New-VM CMDlet

I have an issue. I am creating a script that will use the New-VM cmdlet as followed: New-VM -Name $_.Name -Template $_.Template -VMHost $_.DestinationHost -Datastore $_.Datastore -OSCustomizationSpec $_.CustomSpec -MemoryGB $_.MemoryGB -NumCpu $_.NumCpu

 

The issue I am having is when I start typing this command into Powershell it will initially autocomplete the parameters like -Name and -Template. But one I use the -Name parameter and then try to type -Template, powershell won't autocomplete the parameter. It doesn't even show up in the list of available parameters. If I try to use -Template first, I can then autocomplete the -Name parameter but then can't find the -Memory or -NumCpu parameter.

 

I am using PowerCLI 5.8 in my production environment and have also tried PowerCLI 6.3 Release 1. It happens all the same within Powershell. If I open the PowerCLI console window, everything autocompletes successfully. Am I missing something?

Anyone else have this issue?  I can't seem to attach stacks in a 2.10.0 environment to my test pool of H7 instant clones.  The same image I've always used, just replaced the agent option to use composer with instant clone tech.  I opened a SR for it, but have yet to be able to sync up with the SE.

vCenter Client Plugin 6.0 Error on OS X

I've been unable to get the client plugin working in chrome or firefox despite following the guidance here and updating the vcenter installation:

VMware KB: After updating Google Chrome to version 45 or later, the vSphere Web Client Integration Plugin 6.x fails …

 

Here is the error log after attempting to start a web session:

[2015-12-05 21:43:16] [INFO] Process exiting.

 

I found what appears to be an erroneous absolute path reference for a library used by the plugin binary:

 

$ ./vmware-csd

dyld: Library not loaded: /build/toolchain/mac32/openssl-1.0.1m/lib/libcrypto.1.0.1.dylib

  Referenced from: /Applications/VMware Client Integration Plug-in.app/Contents/Library/./lib/libssl.1.0.1.dylib

  Reason: image not found

Trace/BPT trap: 5


I manually corrected this error by creating the expected directory as a temp solution and got the plugin to run manually, it failed with a session error which makes sense given I wasn't calling it from the browser.

Press ENTER to exit...

 

[2015-12-05 21:42:27] [ERRO] Exit with error code 1


This didn't change the anything for the above error log and the plugin still fails to properly load in the browser.  Any thoughts on what to try next?  I came across this post that mentions permission errors, but it only list the relevant Windows locations.

ESXi 6.0U1a build 3073146 vpxa crashing randomly, host disconnected from vCenter

$
0
0

After recently upgrading vCenter and ESXi to 6.0U1a and installing all patches (now build numbers 3018524 and 3073146 respectively), we began experiencing random host disconnects from vCenter.  The host itself and all guests on it are still alive when it's disconnected; I can SSH to the host and RDP/SSH to guests.  If I literally do nothing, it eventually fixes itself and rejoins vCenter within 15-20 minutes.  We did not have this issue prior to upgrading to 6.0U1a.  This is not the "NETDEV WATCHDOG: vmnic4: transmit timed out" issue.  In fact, the reason we upgraded to the latest build was to get the fix for that particular issue.

 

I've personally witnessed this happen now on three different hosts and never has it reoccurred on the same host twice that we have noticed.  The vmkernel.log simply shows:

 

2015-11-18T20:56:42.662Z cpu12:173086)User: 3816: wantCoreDump:vpxa-worker signal:6 exitCode:0 coredump:enabled

The vpxa.log doesn't show anything building up to the disconnection and leaves a large gap after the agent crashes, like so:

vCenter logs simply show the host becoming unreachable so the problem is obviously host-side.

 

Anyone else seeing similar activity?  This has all the feel of another "known issue" but I don't see any talk about it.  I did open a case with VMware support and am awaiting contact now.
